I believe that "keyboard level scaling" raises or lowers the amplitude
(loudness if you are working with a carrier) of an operator depending on
what part of the keyboard a note is played on.  You have linear
(straight) and exponential (curved) scaling, positive and negative (raise
or lower amplitude).  You set a center key, (C4 or whatever key you want)
then you can specify how an operator gains or loses amplitude when a note
is played above or below that point.   The diagram illustrates this.
Hope this helps.

arghh,
 
this DX7 programming aint as hard as everybody says...
that said, I haven't got very far!
 
just a quick one tho: what is "keyboard level scaling"?
and what does the diagram printed on the KB mean?
 
cheers all,
 
Charles

If you are using the original DX7, or any other for that matter, you can fake keyboard splits with scaling by creating multiple 2 operator sounds within an algorithm and using the scaling to have one sound at the low end, one at the mid, and one up high. Or, using algorithms 1 through 4, you could have two three operator sounds that cross fade across the keyboard. It's a cool effect mixing pad/strings with bass/vibe sounds.

Hope the helps a little more

Venecia.Good advice Sonia!

I'm pretty new to FM programming, but have found this to be the best 
approach. After a while you kind of build up an intuitive sense of 
what its all about! Thanks to everyone who has commented on this 
feature of programming (level scaling) as it has helped put into 
words something that I only had a few sketchy ideas about. :0)
